Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 16 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,837 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,959 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, the Airbus A350-900 began its journey with a taxiing period of 13 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll from runway 12R commenced at 151 kt, with a takeoff distance of 6,876 ft, utilizing 69% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a local weather scenario characterized by a temperature of 43 °F and a wind speed of 17 kt at 210 °, resulting in a crosswind of 17 kt and a headwind of 0 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it ascended from 1,722 ft above sea level to 35,470 ft, an increase of 33,747 ft, within 27 minutes and covering 168 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 2 miles east of Cass Lake, Minnesota, and lasted for 455 minutes, covering 3,529 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a second enroute climb phase, ascending from 36,015 ft to 40,850 ft within 7 minutes and covering 55 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a second enroute level cruise phase, lasting 614 minutes and covering 1,508 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 47 miles east of Kashima-shi, Japan, with the aircraft descending from 40,665 ft to 7,920 ft within 19 minutes and covering 107 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at Tokyo Haneda International Airport was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft descending from 1,667 ft above ground level to 4,288 ft within 5 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles. The landing on runway 34R was completed with a total landing distance of 4,263 ft, utilizing 43% of the available runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 ft from the centreline, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 kt. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, concluding the flight with a total distance of 5,426 nautical miles, a flight time of 735 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 162,567 lbs.
The aircraft touched down on runway 34R at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport, a 9,837-foot-long runway, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 134 knots. The approach quality was good, with a well-executed final approach from the south east, heading 330.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,378 feet above ground level. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth touchdown.
The touchdown point was 600 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -209 feet per minute was fair, indicating a relatively controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centreline, but the rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating good control and coordination during the landing phase.
The total landing distance of 4,263 feet was 43% of the runway length, a reasonable figure considering the local weather conditions. The temperature was 46°F, and the wind was 8 knots at 360°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 95.1%, reflecting a good performance in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout alignment.
